We're back
home after a weekend in Brighton. We
arrived Friday lunch time in the rain and it continued to rain for the rest of
the day but having arrived we were not going to sit in the hotel bar just
because a little rain! No we went off
for a look around. By the time we had
decided to head back we were fairly wet so we got a taxi back to the hotel.
HOTEL!!! What a nightmare that turned out to be! When I booked it I went for one of the
cheaper ones. The room itself was too
bad really, clean and so but we had to share facilities. But some of the other guests were appalling,
shouting and screaming and banging door up till around 2 o'clock. Jan made a fuss about it and they finally
went quiet. Dark looks were exchanged
the following morning at breakfast.
Breakfast on
Saturday and Sunday was the normal fried mountain and it was OK but nothing
special. Yesterday however it was just
toast and cereal; not what I was expecting seeing as we had paid for it. Anyway, we got back home to Dorktown around
4pm. Now we have to get ready to go off
for another two weeks in the sun.
Hopefully I shall be able to write my blog while I'm there.
Sorry, what
was that? Oh the hotel name ... of
course - The Iron Duke!
I love Art
Deco architecture and Brighton has a lot of it.
This one I snapped on our first day there ...
And for a
funny I offer ...
A man walks
into a Welsh pub and orders a white wine spritzer. The bar goes silent as
everyone stares at him. "Where are you from? You sound English",
"I'm from across the Severn ," replies the man nervously. "What
do you do, just across the Severn ?", "I'm a taxidermist."
"What on earth is one of those?". "I mount animals."
"Its alright boys," shouts the barman, "he's one of us."
